I have a Casio CDP S100 BK, been working great for years, one day the sustain pedal stopped working, the keyboard never gets moved nor the pedal gets unplugged, tested the pedal in another keyboard, works, tested another pedal in the Casio, didn't work, reading this forum I assumed it was the jack, I took the unit apart, removed and soldered in a replacement jack I got from Casio, still doesn't work, even tried a full factory reset, all this after the warranty is up and it is useless to me without a sustain pedal. Any ideas?

There's another forum with the same problem. Someone hinted that running the demo reversed the problem. But then, I couldn't use the pedal correctly. I guess that's a common problem with this model, but haven't got to a solution; and with the covid, etc. couldn't get a technician to see it.

I'm having this with a CDP S100. So sad that it doesn't work, I fear that other of my Casio keyboards present the same issue (hopefully not)!

Issue solved! Someone told me to do this:

 

Unplug the piano (power) then the pedal.

Plug the piano (power), turn it on, and once it's turned on plug the pedal.

 

Follow this pattern, because it solved my issue!

 

Order is the key

I'm with the same issue. But can't solve it like that , also although playing the demo does reverse the sustain on-off, the pedal doesn't work. I'm using a Casio SP-3 pedal, working well with my XWP1. I guess it's a repair in my case.

Mount four presets on one performance (midi channels 1-4). Then use the mixer button and the part buttons to change between each one. You can also create an empty rhythm pattern , but saving the instruments that you want (channels 8-16)

If you have to make splits: save one on each performance.

Hey, I bought recently a second-hand LK 240. I also have an XWG1 and P1, and do some gigs with the P1 and a sound module. I want my P1 back (it stays where the band rehearses), and maybe the LK240 is a good option.

I thought it's pretty good, and lightweight, a simple keyboard for gigging with an external sound module (although I would have needed to get a midi host adapter, as it only has USB Midi), or casual playing in parties with the internal sounds, as some are quite good.

However, I came out with a problem: the Function menu, which has a lot of pages, goes out and the keyboard returns to Tone, song or rhythm mode in a few seconds. I really depend on the midi channel change option, as in some songs that I play have to change sounds quickly.

Is there a way to:

a) Freeze the screen into that screen, so I can change it quickly, without having to scroll through menus; or

b) Change midi channels with an external, cheap device?

c) Maybe there is another low/medium-end Casio keyboard with those same features but that won't have this limitation, (and maybe MIDI DIN and a pitch bend 🤣 )(even if it's a little bit old)?

Thanks in advance.

There is a VOX continental type of sound Hex Layer in the downloads, might help

I've got an XW-P1, quite happy with its workings. Something I haven't quite learned to do is how to make the volumes of each performance more or less even with each other (stacking a Hex Layer and four drums makes it quite louder, something that is not always what I want). Sometimes, in the gig, I have to turn the volume knob up or down quite a lot with some tracks. I guess that I could lower the volume of those loud performances within programming, but haven't been round to how to even the volumes out of 50 performances. Any tips for better programming? I Guess that this issue could apply to any other keyboard, but post here as there may be a solution using the interface of the XW ...  Cheers

Yet another attempt! https://soundcloud.com/emiliano-castrill-n/enjoy-the-silence-depeche-mode-cover

hex não, mas tente com sintetizadores e pcm melodia 

Nice! Thanks also for putting the audio demo.

Also, the drums are changed for an organ, or a piano, don't know if there's a way to change it back...

I checked that out with some midi files I downloaded from the internet, and you can use any sound from channel 1 (being it a hex layer, solo synth, or pcm tone that you choose before entering player mode, you can't change it while you play the midi file).

I tried to play a wav file from the SD card some time ago,and entering the player I could only use the solosynth 0-0. Not sure if it's the same with MIDI files.

Yo can start off by using the Ensemblinas preset  (I think it's Performance P-2-0), or the Arp String available here:

http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/files/file/498-hexlayer-10-pack/

 might be quite similar (I used the Arp preset on a Just Like Heaven cover and resulted quite nice).

If you can create something closer (no pun intended) to the original, please share!

These stage settings are great. Thank you so much.
